Select Committee on Modernisation of the House of Commons Written Evidence


Submission from Mr Harry Barnes MP

  Thank you for your letter of 8 January 2004 on sitting times in the Commons.

  I can't however, see how we can have commonsense alterations to arrangements on committee sitting times and the Line of Route without first having changes in the sitting hours themselves.

  I enclose a letter of mine which appeared in The Times—which does offer a compromise (not printed).

  The final time in it should, however, read 10.00 pm and not 10.30 pm.

January 2004
